Investing in the youth of the church.
Young people outnumber adults in many of David Lual’s churches. He shares the importance of investing in this upcoming generation.
“This week, I organized a youth conference that lasted for half a day. We started at 2 pm and concluded at 7 pm. In my teaching, I focused on the idea of being set apart; drawing inspiration from 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10. I emphasized how the Thessalonians turned away from idol worship and embraced a relationship with the living God.
Additionally, I addressed the topic of dating, referring to Song of Songs 2:7. It is worth mentioning that the youth make up two-thirds of our church congregation, which has motivated me to teach them about the importance of purity.
I also met with church leaders and provided them with instruction on the church's responsibility to make disciples of all nations. I emphasized that our spiritual well-being is dependent on reaching out to others. Lastly, we had a productive meeting where each group presented their reports. Towards the end, the members of the larger church requested that I teach them how to make disciples, expressing their willingness to actively participate in this endeavor.”
